Observations of American women during my midnight breakfast

Yeah. The height enhancement pills are usually composed of nothing but a mix of typical supplements... for joints, bones, vitamins, etc. Some are mixed or advertised with HGH pills, which is why i mention it. It's the only piece of the con that might actually trick people into buying into the BS....which is bs since growth/development plates of adults are fully matured, plus what i mentioned in my previous post.

"several adverse side effects in both men and women taking GH therapy including swelling (edema), joint pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Of greatest concern, however, was the "very high frequency" of glucose intolerance or diabetes"
"All of the side effects went away a few weeks after hormone treatment ended" Although some side effects may possibly be permanent (diabetes) if GH's are taken for an extended period of time.

I'd rather trade a few inches of height rather than live with diabetes. It's a pretty terrible way to live and generally speaking diabetics live shorter lives and have a high degree of complication when they're middle aged. Not to mention diabetics can't normally engage in certain outdoor activities/sports that I enjoy.

I don't know if that's true everywhere, but most certainly its true in America.

In addition, I cant imagine why a man would be with a taller woman.

So a shorter guy needs to find a place with a larger pool of shorter women.

Lastly, even if you find a short woman in America, it just means it will be that much quicker before the junk is piling up in her trunk.

You can't imagine? That's getting a bit harsh isn't it? I for one dream of being with a girl taller than me. Isn't that sort of thing 'whatever floats your boa' / 'to each his/her own' / 'live and let live'?

@adam917: I believe a guy wanting to be with a taller is a case of "floats your boat' / 'to each his/her own' / 'live and let live'" I heard guys and read personal ads online of guys showing preference for shorter girls. ""Must be shorter than me" "Not over 5'5" etc

@TRADER1972I: I've seen women holding hands with men slightly shorter than them. It's not common but it's not impossible.

As a woman who is 5' 2, in regards to a guy's height, all I want is a guy taller than me. I'm not asking for much in term's of height.

I don't understand why some women...short (under 5'2)..want a guy over 5'10+ I can understand taller women (5'9+) who want a taller guy but with short women (under 5'2), it looks kinda silly. If they happen to fall for each other, that's fine and dandy. I've read personal ads of woman stating preference for men over 5'10+ when they are only 5'0 or shorter. WTF?

See, I think that's an Anglo-cultured perception of height, because NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWHERE else in the world I have been to has a damn complex about height of their significant others.

In Brazil and the Philippines, I have see short men with oblong, tall women every now and then and nobody, and I mean nobody frowns upon it. America has this jaded, pompous, self-absorbed standard it cannot absolve away from.
